It’s Snowing on Santa Baby!

It’s snowing! It’s snowing! and wow was that snow ever so challenging to do! I am absolutely positive that you are thinking is she out of her mind? what is difficult about snow? well there really isn’t a large enough expanse to really get a stitch going. I like to begin in the largest area so that I get the stitch before I need to start compensating. I swear I unstitched at least one entire spool of Kreinik before I found the stitch that I finally did use. See just a T stitch or Alicia’s Lace just wouldn’t do. I had a really good one that I selected from this book that I added to the library lately. I only realized after I was half way done that I had a mistake right in the beginning! So out it came and back to the books to find another stitch.

The border is almost done, the snow has fallen and I will probably work on the package next. I have some great ideas for that present along with allot of different threads as I usually change my mind only about 50 times before I take the final stitches.

I think today I will spend most of the day stitching on Deco Kitty. I discovered yesterday that I really do have all the threads that I need to finish this piece, but I wanted to be sure. So I will stitch my fingers to the bone today in between packing for my trip to the home of Needle Deeva and our class with Tony Minieri. I can’t wait!

On one of my trips into the bedroom yesterday, look at who I found just waiting to have their picture taken…

Somebody asked me a few weeks ago if I pose the cats? Are you kidding me? Now you must be the one out of your mind! and until next time…keep on stitching.

Needlepoint, morning noon and evening! what could be better than this? I work on the computer in the daylight hours editing stitch guides and drawing stitches that you will see in the next Needlepoint Now for your stitching pleasure! In between this, there is time for taking pictures of my stitching adventures, Facebook and writing stitch guides for canvas that I am stitching for Needle Deeva, Maggie, Ruth Schmuff and others. Mostly needlepoint you ask? well we will talk about my cats Sylvester and AlleyCat, better known as "the brat". Of course I can't forget Felix who was the love of my life for over 14 years. He broke my heart as he departed for the Rainbow Bridge last year. Oh did I mention baseball?

  1. How cute Baby is! Are those Christmas trees in the border? Nice touch! I love the snow and I sympathize how hard it can be to find the perfect stitch. But all that work has been worth it as this design is almost (ALMOST) as cute as your real cats.

    Nice work.

  2. The snow is perfect and don’t you love that book? Cats do not pose…they do what they want when they want LOL Look forward to what your going to do to the present. I see bows?
